Two Tiny Streams

For a while were together
Two Tiny streams.
They adored one another
Having different dreams.

One flowed and expanded
A beautiful river was made.
Other alas was compounded
And stagnated in a pond.

The charms of the river
Day by day were lovelier
And they earned laurals
From here and there.

Enticed by these charms
The pond then left its' trance.
